Question
1.- When the gaseous reaction N204 ‹> 2NO2 is carried out at 328 K, a Kc value of 0.05 corresponds to it. If 92 g of NO2 are initially fed to a reactor with a capacity of 18 liters so that the corresponding reaction is carried out at the same temperature of 328 K, calculate:
a.- The yield of the reaction when reaching equilibrium. (in %)
b. - The total pressure at equilibrium (in atm)
c.- The composition in % mol of the mixture in equilibriumm% n_(N204)

- A batch process is operated with the following sequence. The feed to the batch process consists of a solution of 500 L of ethanol with 120 mole of A and 120 mole of B. If the temperature of the solution is sufficient, A and B will react to form P (the desired product): A (eth) + B (eth) → P (s) DHreact = − 250 kJ/mol (1) product P is sparingly soluble in ethanol, which helps facilitate its removal from the reaction solution. It can be assumed that the reaction rate is first-order in both the concentration of A (cA ) and B (cB ), and so second-order overall: -r A = k c A cB (2) The batch process consists of the following FOUR steps: Initially, the tank is empty. 1.

As a first approximation, we shall consider that the reaction time is more rapid than the time of cylinder compression, consequently, the reaction takes place isothermally in car eylinder at 2700 K, in a constant volume reactor (cylinder) and under a pressure of 20 atm, the initial concentration of N2 is 0.0696 mol/liter. By a specifying constant volume, we are assuming that reaction take place rapidly with respect to the movement of the piston in the cylinder.
